I've just started a programming course to become a web developer, beginning with frontend development and then moving on to the backend. However, the recent advancements in AI tools for programming have left me feeling quite confused and concerned about my career prospects and the chances of finding work in the near future.
What are your thoughts on this, and how can new developers navigate this challenge?"

AI will have an impact on the future in general — but it's only one of many factors causing uncertainty these days. And I think it's uncertainty in general that's driving job prospects.
All that is to say: It's an uncertain economy in general, but it's still a great time to learn software development. And if anything you have a chance to master some of the AI tools and separate yourself.
Thank you for your response. I agree with you. I don't believe that starting tomorrow, all small and medium-sized businesses will be able to easily transition to fully utilizing AI, as the big tech companies want us to believe. Perhaps they can achieve it because they have access to vast internal resources and technologies.
Knowledge of a coding language will become less useful, but Problem solving skills will be valued 1000 times more. No AI can replace that. It's a happy situation if you ask me, mundane tasks will be replaced and creative and intelligent tasks will become our main work.
AI + Human > AI or Human
Don't get left behind.
